Subject: [PATCH] vfio/pci: Implement ioeventfd thread handler for contended
 memory lock

The ioeventfd is called under spinlock with interrupts disabled,
therefore if the memory lock is contended defer code that might
sleep to a thread context.

Fixes: bc93b9ae0151 ("vfio-pci: Avoid recursive read-lock usage")
